1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

resultsFifty-seven (40.7%) of the participants had an unsatisfactory level of knowledge. Most of them had knowledge deficits regarding pathology, OM definition, assessment, scoring, treatment, and patient education and advice. A significant difference existed among nurses with diploma, bachelor, and postgraduate degrees as determined by one-way ANOVA (

conclusionThe knowledge and compliance with OM management guidelines among Jordanian oncology nurses need to be improved. National OM prevention and management guidelines are adopted in Jordan. Continuing education and training are also recommended.
